Honegger was born in 1947 and grew up in Emmental, Switzerland.[1] She graduated with a PhD in biology from the University of Basel in 1976. In 1977 she accepted a postdoctoral research position in the Institute of Plant Biology at the University of Zurich. After a time working at the University of California, Riverside she returned to Switzerland as professor in the Institute of Plant Biology of the University of Zurich.[2] Honegger retired in 2009[3] as Emeritus Professor.[4] From 2011 she worked with Dianne Edwards, a palaeobotanist at the Cardiff University on lichen fossils found on the Welsh borderland.[1][5][6]

Honegger was awarded the International Association for Lichenology's Acharius Medal for her lifetime work in lichenology in 2008[7] and in 2015 she received the Linnean Medal recognising her contribution to the natural sciences.[8]
